His wife, a wiry, gray haired woman with horn-rimmed glasses that slid half-way down her nose, was knitting. The old man look up from a tattered book and said to his wife: “Well, Ma, I was just looking thru’ the high school annual that the class of ’35 published. We were only Freshmen then—but we had some good times in those days, didn’t we? I remember the high-lights of that year real well. What a laugh we got out of the concessions at the High School Carnival! And that home talent play that the P. T. A. sponsored—remember—what was the name of it—oh yes, “Crazy Politics.” And you were a chorus girl. I swear, Ma, that you’re as youthful now as you were then.” “Now Pa!” blushed his wife, “you flatter me. Remember our class party? Even our sponsor, Mr. Hawkins, dried dishes that night. He was the basketball coach, wasn’t f26l he? Let’s see—Fay Nightlinger and what was that Shafer boy’s name—?” “Willis, my dear,” her husband supplied. “Oh yes, and Bob Storick and Junior Hogue played basketball. My! weren’t those four boys proud of themselves!” “Yes, they were! Wasn’t Butch Moyer our class President? and let’s see—Arlene Wetzel was Treasurer. And that girl who was always laughing—Leta Spaulding, I think was Reporter.” “Yes, dear, and Bob Sill was the Vice-President and Junior Hogue was Secretary.” “Well, those were only for the first semester. Wasn’t that Ewalt girl the President and Willis Shafer our Treasurer the second semester?” “Yes,” returned his wife, “and Stuart Shearer was Reporter, Barney Nightlinger was Vice-President and Howard Hoadley was Secretary.” “I guess so,” her husband yawned. “Well. Ma, I’ll see to the fire and then go to bed. Marjorie Kephart 19 3 5

How different from our experience last year as inquiring Freshmen. How we wandered around, getting lost, missing classes, and enduring all those other embarrassing moments. I notice our class has two new members. In all, we number forty-three. Miss Natalie Jordan is the class sponsor. We expect to have a fine year under her kind supervision. September 28 The first class meeting was held today. The class officers were elected for this semester. After all kinds of brawling and yelling, we finally settled down to business. The following were elected: Elizabeth Bur-goyne. President; Ira Halt, Vice President; James Hinkley, Secretary; Elinor Wilson, Treasurer; and Margaret Hoopmgarner, Reporter. Things ought to begin to happen with officers like these. October 2 A popularity contest was held today. The winner of each class will compete for the crown at the carnival. Alleyne Brenner was chosen from our Sophomore Class. She is one of the Berrien Center girls and attended school here in the seventh and ninth grades. She will be remembered as one of the grandest girls in our class. January 27 Another class meeting was held tonight, Murray Anstiss was chosen President; Mildred Staley, Vice President; Edith Zech, Secretary; Otto Hood, Treasurer; and Forrest Kesterke, Reporter. It looks like we are going to have an interesting last semester. February 16 Every year the Sophomore Class has class pins. Last October we selected our pins. We just received them today. Of course to us they arc the most attractive ot any. They are little gold pins with black lettering. We all think they simply take the cake. I wonder how soon the boys’ pins will find new owners? March 14 The Sophomores held their class party tonight. Many of the teachers were present. In fact there were nearly as many teachers as Sophomores. The evening was spent in playing cards, games, and dancing. It is usually the bigger the crowd the better, but this time it proved just the opposite. After a hilarious evening, we partook of cake and jello and went home. THE CANOE 19 3 5 [251

SEVENTH GRAD Mr. Claar Bedinger was the seventh grade sponsor. He has taken charge of these young people ever since they were promoted to the High School Building. The Seventh Graders found it very hard to regu'ate their time into periods the first semester, but Mr. Bedinger helped them change their course of school life so that before the beginning of the second semester, they were able to do their own planning. There was an enrollment of twenty-three seventh graders in the first semester. The class officers were: President .............. Dick Stahl Vice President Shirley Housam Secretary Gordon Kesterke Treasurer ............ Margaret Frisbe Reporter ............ Bernice Storick These officers planned and gave a Halloween party in the sewing room on October CLASS HISTORY 29, 1934. They appointed committees whose members made it a very enjoyable party. During the second semester, the enrollment increased one more girl. The officers for this semester were: President ........... Pauline Wetzel Vice President........... Bob Wollam Secretary ....... Charlotte Housam Treasurer Harold Burgess Reporter Milford Glasburn The seventh graders participated in many extra curricular activities. The boys formed a harmonica band which has made a few public appearances. It was discovered that many of them have real talent. The boys and girls belonged to the separate Ir. High Glee Club. Many of the boys belong to the High School orchestra and band. A few of the girls have very good records as honor students. THE CANOE 19 3 5 [27]
